TODAY – starting P3• LO: Describe some different types of

renewable energy [C] Know how energy is generated in power stations [B]

STARTER

List as many renewable energy sources that you can think of!

Page 2: TODAY – starting P3

Renewable vs Non-Renewable

• Fossil fuels are non-renewable, once they have been burnt they cannot be used again and it will take millions of years for them to re-form.

• Solar Power• Wind Power• Tidal/Wave power• Hydroelectric power• Geothermal energy

• Renewable energy sources do not run out and can be used over and over again.

Examples are

Page 3: TODAY – starting P3

Fossil Fuels• The three fossil fuels are coal, oil and

gas.• They can be burnt in a power station to

generate electricity.• Because the electricity has to be

produced from another energy form we call it a secondary energy source.

• Electricity cannot be stored, so it has to be generated all the time.

Page 4: TODAY – starting P3

How a power station worksFuel is burnt to

heat water which produces

steam

A transformer is two coils of wire on an iron

core. It changes electricity into a

higher voltage so it can be sent around the national grid at

400000v

The turbine drives the

generator which creates

electricity

The steam turns a turbine

Page 6: TODAY – starting P3

Task• Using the templates and the information

sheets create fact files for at least 4 different energy types.

• HINT: It is a good idea to do Nuclear as one

• Things to include:–How does it generate electricity (C)

(include a diagram if necessary)–Advantages (B)–Disadvantages (B)

Page 7: TODAY – starting P3

Extension Task (A)• You are a local politician and have

been asked to help decide which type of power station you will have in your local area.

• Which one will you choose and why??• Things to think about: What is the

area you live in like? Does it have many people? Does it have much space? What is the weather like?

TITLE - efficiency• LO: how to calculate the efficiency of

appliances [B] how to represent energy transfer using a Sankey diagram [C] how we can make buildings more energy efficient [D]STARTER

When you eat a burger what does your body use the energy for?

Make a list!

Energy efficiencyefficiency = energy usefully transferred ×

100%total energy supplied

• Energy efficiency is a measure of how much useful energy an appliance makes compared to how much initial energy is put into it

• The more efficient it is the better as it saves money and resources

• We can show efficiencyusing a diagram

Sankey DiagramsShow how one type of energy can be converted into other types of energy.

LAWEnergy can not be created or destroyed it can only be transformed from one form to

another.

Sankey Diagrams show the FLOW of ENERGY

TaskProduce an informative leaflet that gives advice on how to make your

home more energy efficient• Grade D – Give at least 3 examples of

ways to make your home more energy efficient

• Grade C – Explain how each method makes your home more efficient

• Grade B – Discuss why some methods are better than others and why (think about cost vs what you will save)

Page 17: TODAY – starting P3

EXAM QUESTION• 5 minutes

Page 18: TODAY – starting P3

Thinking Task• Mr Green is worried

that his energy bills are really high and he cant afford to pay them, what advice would you give him of how to save money on his bills??

Page 19: TODAY – starting P3

Wasted EnergyPick an object

from the kitchen and

draw an energy flow diagram for

that item. Then explain which is the wasted and which is the

useful energy output.

Page 20: TODAY – starting P3
Page 21: TODAY – starting P3

TITLE – Electrical Energy• LO: know how and when to use ‘electrical

energy’ equations

STARTER

Use the efficiency equation: efficiency = useful energy X100 total energy

• A light bulb is supplied with 20 000 J of energy. 19 000 is wasted as heat. How efficient is the bulb?

Objectives• Describe how energy is produced

from fossil fuels

Page 35: TODAY – starting P3

Starter Activity• List 2 non-renewable and 2

renewable energy sources

• Give one advantage and one disadvantage for each type

Page 36: TODAY – starting P3

Objectives• Describe how energy is produced

from nuclear sources

Page 37: TODAY – starting P3

Nuclear Power• Certain radioactive materials can be

used to produce electricity in a power station instead of using fossil fuels.

• The nuclear fuel is not burned though like fossil fuels. It is put into a nuclear reactor and nuclear fission occurs.

• Nuclear fission releases huge amounts of heat energy that is used to heat water, creating steam to turn a turbine.

Page 38: TODAY – starting P3

Nuclear power generator

Control rods control the

speed of the nuclear reaction

(Uranium fuel rods)

Page 39: TODAY – starting P3

What is Ionising Radiation?• Ionising radiation is given off by

radioactive particles.• It is called ionising because it has

enough energy to collide with atoms and knock electrons off it causing it to become a positively charged particle called an ion.

• Ionised atoms have more energy so are more likely to react chemically and damage cells in the human body, causing cancer.

Page 40: TODAY – starting P3

Uses of Ionising Radiation• Ionising radiation can be useful as it

can be used to sterilise surgical equipment, kill cancer cells, as radioactive tracers and to preserve fruit.

• Generally however it is harmful and causes cancer so we must limit the doses we are exposed to e.g. X rays.

• We can protect ourselves by using lead and concrete to stop it and monitoring how much we are exposed to.

Page 41: TODAY – starting P3

Task: Using pages 234-235 of the textbook and the internet create an informative poster or PowerPoint

explaining:

–How a nuclear power station works and include a diagram of the nuclear reactor (C)

–How the nuclear waste from the power station is dealt with (B)

–What nuclear fission is and how the chain reaction occurs (A)

Page 42: TODAY – starting P3

Geiger-Müller Counter• Radioactivity can be

detected using a Geiger-Müller Counter.

• When radiation enters the tube, atoms inside are ionised by the radiation.

• These ions are counted and shown as counts per second or counts per minute.

Page 43: TODAY – starting P3

Nuclear Debate• In pairs you need to come up with

arguments for and against having a nuclear power station built in Leeds.

Energy resources, Generators and the National

Grid• LO: Consider environmental impacts of energy sources as well as cost [D] know that electricity is distributed by the national grid [C] know how generators use magnets to make electricity [B]

What is ionising radiation and why is it dangerous?

Page 46: TODAY – starting P3

Ionization happens when a photon with enough energy hits an atom or molecule inside a material.

How a Generator Works

You can make electricity by moving a magnet in or near a coil of wire.

This diagram is one of a small dynamo to power a bicycle light but works on the same principle as large power station generators.
